Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 135 The situation is fermenting

the next day.

The Taiping Dao and the Chihuo Sword Sect set out together, heading towards Qingzhou Prefecture.

Neither side was in a hurry, so both walked slowly.

Shao Hongbo intended to hand over the sect to Liang Jin, so he specially arranged for his disciples to be close to the Taiping Dao.

At the same time, Shao Hongbo was also calling on all the disciples of the sect to gather together so that they could get to know Liang Jin as soon as possible.

He even created some opportunities for Jiang Lengxue and Liang Jin to interact with each other.

But Jiang Lengxue had been deliberately avoiding Liang Jin. Not only did she not get close to him, she also had no intention of communicating with him.

Liang Jin didn't force it.

His only worry was that if Jiang Lengxue was really unwilling, Liang Jin would probably encounter many difficulties when taking over the Red Fire Sword Sect.

He is determined to join the Red Fire Sword Sect.

As for Jiang Lengxue.

If you have it, it will be icing on the cake; if you don’t have it, you can just take it as it is.

The journey was quite smooth.

Neither the people from Guiyi Sect nor Senluo Sect appeared again.

When the group arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture, it was noon.

I saw a big river in the distance, as if dividing the earth into two halves.

And a majestic city stands on the river bank, like a ferocious beast crawling by the river to drink water.

Qingzhou City was also originally a wealthy city.

But now, a different picture emerges.

I saw a large number of tents and wooden sheds built outside the city.

They are densely packed and stretch for miles.

It is unknown how many people are temporarily living there.

A rough estimate is that there are probably no less than tens of thousands of people.

These are the victims of the plague that ravaged various places.

They heard that the Taiping Dao was going to distribute healing talismans and water here, so they came from all directions.

Such a large number of disaster victims has obviously exceeded the capacity of Qingzhou City.

Therefore, Qingzhou City also made the same choice as Taiyang City did at the beginning, closing the city gates and strictly prohibiting the victims from pouring into the city.

These disaster victims could only temporarily settle outside the city.

But there is still a steady stream of disaster victims arriving, and in time the number of disaster victims here may exceed 100,000!

Liang Jin led a group of core members of the Taiping Dao, standing on a high place and looking into the distance.

Zhang You pointed to a large mansion in the city and said:

"Great and virtuous teacher, that is the Yang family."

"According to the information we received, the plague has now spread throughout the city, and the people are suffering terribly."

The house, viewed from a high place in the distance, was also extremely gorgeous and luxurious.

Even as the plague raged, the extravagant life in the mansion seemed to have not changed.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the whole house is decorated with lights and looks magnificent and beautiful.

In sharp contrast to this are the dilapidated shacks and tents outside the city.

Liang Jin said:
"Send someone to the city to spread the rumor."

"They said that the plague was rampant in Qingzhou City because of the goat demon."

"As long as the goat demon is eliminated, the plague will be completely eradicated."

Zhang You's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Now that the plague is raging, the saying that the plague god and the plague ghost are causing the disaster is widely circulated.

The idea of ​​slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits is also easy for people to accept.

Especially the "yang" in the sheep demon corresponds exactly to the "yang" in the Yang family, which can easily lead people to think in this direction.

The Yang family wanted to take advantage of the plague and make a fortune without regard for human lives.

That would be a good opportunity to take advantage of the plague and strike a more severe blow to the Yang family.

"Great and Good Master, this is a brilliant plan. I will arrange for someone to carry it out right away."

"And the place where the sheep demon's evil spirit is located is the Yang family residence!"

Zhang You could understand Liang Jin's thoughts, so Liang Jin also believed that he could do it well.

Liang Jin looked at a mountain outside the city again.

The mountain is extremely tall, steep and rugged, with excellent terrain.

"What peak is that?"

Liang Jin asked.

Zhang You replied:

"That's called Shenlu Peak, and it's now part of the Yang family's assets."

"According to Yang Jing of the Yang family, the Yang family believes in the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows, so the family's wealth and silver are not hidden entirely at home, but are dispersed throughout the family."

"The Yang family's manor was built on Shenlu Peak, and it was also the place where the Yang family hid their property."

As a member of the younger generation of the Yang family, Yang Jing knew a lot about the Yang family, and she also confessed many of the Yang family's secrets to Taiping Dao.

Liang Jin nodded:
"I'm afraid Qingzhou City will be in chaos for a while now."

"Let's not rush into the city, let's go to Shenlu Peak."

"I think this peak has excellent feng shui, making it a perfect place for my Taiping Dao to establish its headquarters."

Shenlu Peak is the property of the Yang family.

What Liang Jin robbed was the Yang family's property!

Zhang You understood and spoke immediately:
"I will go and call upon all the Yellow Turbans of the Taiping Dao, as well as the countless victims of the disaster."

"Let them contribute money and manpower to build the Taiping Dao headquarters on Shenlu Peak!"

If a person robs other people's property, he is a robber and will be beheaded if caught by the government.

But if thousands of people go to rob other people's property, it will be complicated.

It can be said to be a resistance against the oppression of unscrupulous businessmen, or it can be said to be an asset dispute, but the reason is not so easy to explain.

Liang Jin said to Lu Qiannan again:

"Qiannan, let's get everyone ready."

"Since we are here, our main purpose is to save people."

“With so many people gathering outside the city, feeding will be a big problem.”

"First, arrange for people to distribute porridge and food, and contact grain merchants to transport food by water."

Now that Taiping Dao has money and food, it is not difficult to provide relief to the victims.

Lu Qiannan received the order:

"I obey my orders!"

at this time.

A group of people came over.

It was someone from the Red Fire Sword Sect.

Shao Hongbo and were sitting in a sedan chair.

When the sedan chair stopped beside Liang Jin and the curtain was lifted, everyone realized that Shao Hongbo looked even worse today.

In the past few days, Shao Hongbo's physical condition has been getting worse and worse, and his complexion has been getting worse day by day.

Everyone can see that Shao Hongbo doesn't have many days left.

He opened his mouth weakly, and Jiang Lengxue leaned forward to listen for a while. Then, she said to Liang Jin:

"My husband said that the Great and Good Teacher seemed to have something to do."

"If the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect can be of any assistance, please let the Great Sage Master know."

Liang Jin naturally knew that this was Shao Hongbo's good intention.

So he immediately said:
"Master Shao, to be honest, I plan to provide relief to the disaster victims outside Qingzhou City."

"We have brought a lot of money and food this time, and we will distribute food and porridge to the victims soon."

"I really need your help. If your disciples are willing to help maintain order, I would be very grateful."

When the disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect heard that it was a charity, they all rubbed their hands and were ready to take action.

Qingzhou Prefecture was originally the seat of the Red Fire Sword Sect. Now, all the disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect have come out in full force and gathered around Shao Hongbo.

This also means that the Red Fire Sword Sect can dispatch a large number of disciples without having to worry about lack of manpower.

Jiang Lengxue spoke on behalf of Shao Hongbo:

"Being able to participate in disaster relief and helping the people is a great merit."

"As a disciple of the Red Fire Sword Sect, it is my duty."

"Please trouble Taiping Dao to make the arrangements."

Liang Jin nodded and asked Lu Qiannan to be responsible for arranging these disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect.

Shao Hongbo opened his mouth again.

Jiang Lengxue listened for a while, then said:

"We recently received a piece of news."

"The leaders of Guiyi Sect and Senluo Sect will gather in Qingzhou City in the near future to participate in the mediation negotiations hosted by Liushenmen."

"Recently, the two sects have been fighting constantly, which has alarmed the Six Gates. Therefore, the Six Gates have specially gathered the leaders of both factions to mediate, hoping to resolve the conflict between the two factions."

"Master, please prepare in advance and be careful."

As a martial arts sect, the Red Fire Sword Sect naturally has its own information channels within the martial arts world.

Before Liang Jin learned the news, the Chihuo Sword Sect had already known it in advance.

Liang Jin was not nervous when he heard this.

Now everything is arranged.

We just need to wait for the situation to develop a little more, and then we can go straight to Huanglong!
…………

…………

Outside Qingzhou City.

A gathering place for disaster victims.

“The food has been distributed!”

"The Taiping Dao is distributing food!"

Accompanied by loud shouts, all the victims couldn't help but look up.

I saw a convoy of cars approaching slowly in the distance.

Many people wearing yellow turbans drove carriages loaded with bags of grain.

When the victims saw this scene, they immediately rushed forward.

Fortunately, the disciples of the Red Fire Sword Sect stepped forward to maintain order, so there was no chaos at the scene.

The Yellow Turbans distributed food to everyone and said:

"The Great Sage Master will arrive in Qingzhou City soon to eliminate the plague for all the people!"

"He first ordered us to come and deliver food to ensure that everyone has enough to eat!"

When the people heard that it was the grace of the Great Sage Teacher, they couldn't help but cheer.

soon.

Bags of food were distributed.

The disaster victims who received the food could not help but express their gratitude to the Taiping Dao people.

These days, they gave up their livelihoods and came to Qingzhou City just to survive, and they were already penniless and hungry.

The government office closed the city gates and had no ability to provide disaster relief, which made the survival of the victims a problem.

The food distributed by the Taiping Dao today is nothing short of life-saving food.

At this time, the Yellow Turbans shouted again:

"The Great Sage Master is a celestial being. When he visits Qingzhou City, he naturally needs a blessed place to stay."

"Now this Shenlu Peak is a treasured place. The Great Sage Master intends to set up a headquarters there and stay here permanently to treat everyone."

"Fellow villagers, please donate money and effort and follow us to Shenlu Peak to lend a hand."

"Let's set up the main altar soon, and let the Great Sage Master's Dharma carriage arrive soon!"

The Yellow Turbans shouted and drove towards Shenlu Peak.

When the people heard this, they followed him.

They have received the grace of the great and virtuous teacher, so how can we not help them?
So in an instant, tens of thousands of people marched towards Shenlu Peak.

not far away.

A man carrying an old woman on his back was also watching what was happening here.

The old woman had white hair and a cluster of pustules on her face, and it was obvious that she had contracted the plague.

The man was wearing cloth and holding a small bag of grain in his hand, which he had obtained from the Taiping Dao.

He dug a stove on the spot, borrowed a pot from another victim, and started cooking food.

As the food was cooked, the man brought the first bowl to the old woman:
"Mom, you eat first."

The old woman took the bowl, drank a sip, wiped her mouth and said:

"Son, this Great and Good Master is a good man, and the Taiping Dao is also a good man."

"As human beings, we must know how to repay kindness."

"I've received a favor today, so if you can help out, don't hesitate."

The man nodded:
"I see."

"It's just that I have to take care of you, so I won't go to Shenlu Peak to help."

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll help them again."

Going to Shenlu Peak to help was just a small matter, and many disaster victims participated.

But there were also some people with families who could not leave and had to stay.

The old woman nodded and continued to drink from the bowl seriously.

Sudden.

She started coughing violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

Because she coughed so violently, she suddenly opened her mouth and vomited out all the food she had just drunk.

The man hurried forward, patted her on the back, and filled a bowl with water:

"Mom, come and have a drink of water first."

"Don't worry, it's okay. The Great Sage Master will be here soon."

"As soon as he arrives, your illness will be cured!"

The old woman drank some water and felt a little better.

She sighed:
"If the Great and Good Master can really cure my illness, then we will be indebted to him again."

The man was not worried at all.

He replied calmly:
"Mom, don't be afraid."

"Son, I am good at martial arts, and there will be plenty of opportunities to repay them."
